Version Best Practices

What are best practices for uploading alternate versions?

Updated over 4 years ago

Alternate Durations

  • :60, :30, and :15 second versions are recommended for commercial use

  • Any fade must end within the time duration (e.g. a :30 second version should not have the final hit be on :30 and fade until :34. That would not work for a :30 commercial).

Alternate Mixes

  • Narrative versions are recommended for commercial use. This is a version that has no lead melodic vocals or instruments.

  • Other instrumental versions you believe could be useful are recommended. e.g. drum and bass version, percussion and sfx version, or no drums version

Tracks with Vocals

  • Vocalese versions are recommended. This is a version that has non-lyrical vocals (e.g. heys, ahhs, oohs).

  • Instrumental versions are recommended. There must not be any vocals in this version.
